Washington Federal Bank will celebrate the launch of its new Bainbridge Island outpost with an ice cream party from noon to 3 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 28. Attendees will have the chance to enter a raffle to win a $250 gift card to Town & Country Market.

The branch, located next to the Starbucks, at 337 High School Road NE, recently opened its doors to the public.

“As a Washington-based bank, we’ve been working with residents and business in Puget Sound for almost 100 years,” said Bryan Lutz, Washington Federal’s division manager and senior vice president. “We think our ‘invested here,’ common-sense approach to banking will be a great fit for the Bainbridge community.”

The new branch features two deposit-accepting ATMs. It will be led by Cherrie Cibene, a banking professional with more than 10 years of experience in the finance industry.
